Overview
The role of the healthcare supply chain is rapidly evolving and increasingly important within the healthcare ecosystem, due in large part to the COVID-19 pandemic. The public health crisis also helped expose multiple supply chain vulnerabilities that presents new challenges and demands innovation.
As a leader in global strategy consulting serving clients across the healthcare spectrum, L.E.K. operates a healthcare supply chain practice focused on several key segments of the supply chain that are becoming increasingly critical as care delivery continues to evolve (where, how, and who delivers care). We have deep experience helping clients in these segments grapple with strategic questions, both the challenges and the opportunities market changes present.
Many of these organizations have had to evolve their offerings, business models and commercial approaches significantly as healthcare has changed in the last decade, but especially in the face of the pandemic. We have helped our healthcare supply chain clients overcome significant strategic challenges and uncover areas where they can capitalize on growth opportunities.
